Stirling John Foundation
for Youth Empowerment
Our vision is to enrich Indigenous Youth through exploring the opportunities of the music industry. Providing knowledge, guidance, and experience to further our musical Indigenous youth in Alberta.
In the spirit of ongoing truth and reconciliation with our Indigenous communities, Stirling John Foundation for Youth Empowerment will be conducting youth engagement in the Treaty 6, Treaty 7 and Treaty 8 Indigenous Communities. This initiative is to build relationships and trust between the indigenous communities through music while encouraging the creativity with youth in Indigenous communities in Alberta. This initiative will develop the following skills: Leadership, Relationship Building, Self-Worth, Discipline , Community Awareness, and Creativity.
“Music has the power to heal, transform and inspire and we have the power through deep listening to increase our intuition and self awareness.”
